Kissing Carrion

The first horror story collection from the author of Experimental Film, "e;one of the most powerful and unique voices in weird fiction today"e; (Paul Tremblay, award-winning author of A Head Full of Ghosts). These seventeen tales take readers into the uniquely twisted mind of "e;one of Canada's most promising new horror writers"e; (Publishers Weekly). From a live necrophilia show starring reanimated corpses to a confrontation between a security guard and inhuman squatters, from who can be found at an all-night laundromat to what lies in wait at the bottom of the sea, from undead addictions to all-consuming obsessions, Kissing Carrion is "e;a journey through some of the most beautifully rendered visions of darkness and death to be published this past year. . . . Fans of Poppy Z. Brite, Charlee Jacob, and Clive Barker should enjoy this collection immensely"e; (SF Reader). Praise for Gemma Files "e;One of the standout horror novels of 2015 . . . From an author who has already established herself as one of the genre's most original and innovative voices, Experimental Film is a remarkable achievement."e; Los Angeles Review of Books "e;[We Will All Go Down Together] is a vivid, haunting mix of horror and fantasy woven together through a complex fugue of short stories. The effect is powerful. It's a book you have to work hard at, in order to make sure you're not missing any of the peripheral connections. But it rewards the effort, and then some."e; Entertainment Weekly "e;The recent republication of Gemma Files's first two collections of short fiction, Kissing Carrion and The Worm in Every Heart, was a reminder of how long and how well she has been writing."e; Locus
